Baby Items Drive for Abria

JANUARY 1-31

This January, our parish will be collecting baby items for  Abria, a local pregnancy resource organization offering a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for couples experiencing unexpected pregnancies. They help provide families with essential newborn care items to give their baby a safe and healthy start.

There is a significant need for basic items like clothing, blankets, diapers, and wipes for many families who are financially stretched. You may drop your items in the collection box in our new gathering space near the north side entrance beginning January 2!

Items Most Needed:

• Sleepers: one-piece cotton, footed sleepers that are worn indoors, day or night, in sizes preemie (P), newborn (NB), 0-3 months, or 3 months (3-6 months is too big)
• One-piece t-shirts: Gerber® Onesies® brand or similar bodysuit in preemie (P), newborn (NB), 0-3 months, or 3 months (3-6 months is too big)
• Receiving Blankets: light blankets in cotton or flannel only (we cannot accept fleece or knitted blankets, or quilts for safety reasons)
• Diapers: any brand disposable diapers in preemie or newborn sizes only
• Wipes: any brand baby wet wipes in unopened packs with plastic pop top lids or resealable soft packs (no refill packages)
• Formula: Similac Advanced is used in several local hospitals, making it an easy choice for local families in need
